Question

The GCF of 36 uw 3y and 45 u 2y is _____. 9 uy 3 uy 1,620 u 2w 3y 180 u 2w 3y

Answer 1

Given:

$36uw^3y$ and $45u^2y$

To find:

The GCF of given expressions.

Solution:

The factor forms of given terms are:

$36uw^3y=2\times 2\times 3\times 3\times u\times w\times w\times w\times y$

$45u^2y=3\times 3\times 5\times u\times u\times y$

Now, greatest common factor (GCF) of given terms is

$GCF(36uw^3y,45u^2y)=3\times 3\times u\times y$

$GCF(36uw^3y,45u^2y)=9uy$

So, the GCF of given terms is 9uy.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
